SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 390,478, dated October 2, 1888.

Application filed January 5', 1887.

T 0 aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ALBERT L. HOWELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Mohawk, in the county of Herkimer and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Flat-Iron Heaters, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to improvements in stoves; and it consists in certain novel means for saving fuel and heating sad-irons, which will be fully described hereinafter, and pointed out in the claims. I attain these objects by the device illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of the parti tion and sad or fiat iron holder when in use. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the partition and sad or flat iron holder before adjusting the same for use.

Similar letters refer to similarparts inboth views.

The letter A represents the partition and shelf for holding sad or flat irons. a and I) represent the pieces or plates, made of metal, fastened at d by a rivet, bolt, or pin, which works or slides back and forth in the slot 0, thereby increasing or diminishing the size to fit any fire-box. The Wire, rod, or bail e of metal is used as a brace against the side or bottom of the stove to hold the partition in (No model.)

place when adjusted in the firebox. f is a shelf, made of metal, securely fastened to the partition a,where0n to rest a sad or fiat iron, over which is a cover of metal to retain the heat. i is a loop or hook to remove the same when it is desired to use the iron.

The construction described affords simple and economical means for saving fuel and heat ing sad or flat irons.

Having thus fully described my invention, What I desire to claim and secure by Letters Patent is- 1. A device for the purpose described,consisting of the partition provided with a bail for holding it in place, a shelf secured to the partition and adapted to hold an iron, and a cover for retaining the heat, substantially as described.

2. A device for the purpose described,consisting of an adjustable partition, a rod or bail pivoted to said partition near the top thereof, a shelf for holding an irou,secured to said partition, anda removable cover for retaining the heat and supported by said shelf, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I affir my signature in presence of two witnesses.

ALBERT L. HO\V ELL.
